2 Star Review by Grace Smith
We booked the family room with ensuite because I didnt want to share bathroom facilities. Arrive and they told us that they double booked so we had no choice but to stay in the family room with no bathroom. Had to use shared bathroom facilities. One womens shower compare to 2 mens showers. Not enough toilets. Very very loud at night. Good food. Reasonably priced however the location needs a major revamp as it is very dingy.

After not eating all day, ordered dinner for myself and my partner I ordered scotch fillet steak with mash and veg. Waited over 1hr 40minutes we ordered at about 5:45 -6pm as they were taking orders. Had to ask if they had forgotten our meals then about 15 minutes later we receive our meals my medium well done steak was so raw (blue steak) it made me sick to my stomach and turned me off food the night my partners porterhouse was over cooked and overall a bad experience enough to make me never want to go eat or drink at this establishment. Staff are rude bad attitude, just overall bad vibes and bad service. Ending up leaving the pub to order a burger from nersons next door 10 minutes and Im full wow, what a waste of a pub!
2 Star Review by Angélique Devise
Beautiful old pub but it really needs some improvements! Very expensive for what it is. Our bedroom was very small and very basic. No mirror, no tissues or anything else. Basically just a bed, 2 lamps, a small fridge and a kettle. Shared bathroom and toilets, all in the same room, no privacy or whatsoever... therefore not very clean. No towel or paper towels to dry hands off. Was even hard to get some soap out of the dispenser. Also, you can hear anything that is going on the floor. We could even hear people using the toilets which wasn't really pleasant, also having their shower and gargling... pretty gross. Therefore couldn't sleep very well.
5 Star Review by Ewan Morrison
Counter lunches in Australian pubs are very underrated. They're a bit old fashioned, typically product from the area, reasonably priced and often just basic meals. In another setting these meals might be called street food. I had crumbed lamb cutlets with veg and mash and it was delightful. Creamy, yellow potato, perfectly cooked, delightful and tasty beans, peas, corn, cauliflower and broccolini - all to die for - and accompanied by beautiful lamb cutlets. Servings were not huge but very adequate. It us ordered at the bar and the young woman who served me went out of her way to be helpful. Well worth the visit.

Was on a solo bike ride from Wollongong. I thought I'd give the Royal Mail a try. It was well worth it !!! The rooms were basic but clean and pretty cheap. It was a shared toilet/shower which was clean. The food was good and the beer cold. The service was excellent. I'd recommend this place if you were passing through.
